Kerry E-Block

Interesting: Washington Whispers notes that a major overhaul is coming to the Kerry campaign website, which will include:

It’s an online capability that allows phone banking from a home computer. Not everyone has the time to travel to a campaign office or union hall and make calls for the candidate. E-block will allow them to do that from home. Get out the vote, but stay in your jammies.

This is exciting. It’s been done before — Dialing for Dean was in place prior to the Wisconsin primaries — but its use on this scale in a presidential campaign is unprecedented.

It’s good to see the Kerry camp taking the lead. (Thanks to PoliticalWire for the link.)
